Edison Motors, a Canadian clean tech company, is rewriting the future of heavy-duty transportation. In 2023, they built Canada’s first production electric hybrid work truck, proving that sustainability and performance can go hand-in-hand. With technology that reduces fuel consumption by 20–100%, Edison is creating powerful, eco-friendly alternatives to traditional vehicles—and building a movement around clean transportation.
In December 2024, Edison launched their equity crowdfunding campaign on FrontFundr, just ahead of the holidays. Backed by a highly engaged online following—620,000 TikTok followers and 495,000 YouTube subscribers—Edison’s campaign soared past expectations. In just one week, they hit the maximum $1.5M crowdfunding exemption limit, becoming the first company in Canada to ever achieve this milestone. By the close of 2024, Edison had successfully raised $2.4M from 1,231 retail and accredited investors.
With plans to build nine prototypes in 2025 and establish a factory in Golden, BC, Edison is scaling up to meet growing demand for sustainable transportation solutions.
From the start, Edison built its brand on transparency, education, and community. The founders shared the process of designing and building trucks openly with their massive social media audience. Their no-nonsense style resonated deeply with both truck enthusiasts and sustainability-minded investors.
By tapping into this community, Edison transformed passive followers into active co-owners. Supporters weren’t just buying into a business—they were backing a bold vision to reshape the transportation industry.
As the campaign hit milestones, Edison amplified momentum by sharing real-time updates, clear calls to action, and future-facing goals. Investors rallied around the mission, eager to be part of a Canadian-made clean tech breakthrough.
Much like their trucks, Edison’s crowdfunding campaign ran on power and momentum:
